6rugrats Posted October 2, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I have been on this excursion with Dr. Poole, and it's one of the best excursions I have ever taken. It wasn't on a catamaran; it was on a boat that you boarded from a dock. Dr. Poole is extremely knowledgeable and personable. There is always the possibility that you will be able to get in the water, so be prepared for that, though it's not guaranteed. I'd highly recommend this excursion as a "must do".

FoghornLeghorn Posted October 2, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Was this the PRINCESS excursion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twin123185 Posted October 2, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) He most also offers this on princess. It was on mine back in 2005/2007. Last year I took the tour d it was great but we did not get into the water with the whales. Water not clear enough that day. I would also check out Moorea Boat Tours. The last two years they got much more personal with the whales.

6rugrats Posted October 2, 2014 #6 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) No, it was not through Princess, but it doesn't matter. Princess doesn't run the excursion or provide the boat. It's the same excursion whether through Princess or PG or someone else. It's run by Dr. Poole, not the cruise line. His webpage: http://www.drmichaelpoole.com/tours.htm Reviews with pictures on Tripadvisor: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g309685-d1160332-Reviews-Dr_Poole_s_Private_Dolphin_and_Whale_Tour-Moorea_Society_Islands.html I am not sure what information you are looking for.

6rugrats Posted October 3, 2014 #8 Share Posted October 3, 2014 You can see the type of boat if you look at the pictures in the links provided. Step into the boat. We took the ship's tender to the dock where Dr. Poole's boat was waiting; believe Princess does the same, but you certainly could check with them and find out.
